I want to create a virtual machine from scratch in ESX but I can't figure out how to create the disks - the vmdk files. Any hints on how that can be done or even if it's possible at all ? Thanks

Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to create a new domain(create a new virtual machine) using the ESX driver. The documentation at http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html says: To define a new domain the driver converts the domain XML into a VMware VMX file and uploads it to a datastore known to the ESX server. Because multiple datastores may be known to an ESX server the driver needs to decide

Hi everyone, I searched previous postings and I couldn't find a definitive answer on this.. I run a small lab of RHEL/Centos Based servers on which there's VMWare Workstation running on a non-standard port but still manageable by tools like VMrun (and the Fusion of Workstation GUI, of course). I'm trying to use virsh with this setup and getting the following error from both

Just curious but how long has ESX support been in libvirt? Also I noticed this error when accessing one of my windows vms: error: internal error Expecting VMX entry 'scsi0.virtualDev' to be 'buslogic' or 'lsilogic' but found 'lsisas1068' Not sure whether this is an enhancement, defect, or not supported at this time. Thanks. -Jon

Dear All, I would like to know what functions and classes are implemented in the ESX(i) driver ? i am trying to use virsh to retrieve some simple information such as vcpuinfo domain, but it is not working, so I would like to know what functions are implemented in libvirt ESX(i) driver. Also i checked the http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html and nothing is mentioned there. Thank You, Regards, Sherif

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Hi, I am doing poc for using libvirt api for implementation of esx in python. I tried researching through module but did not find a way how it works for esx. Any help on how to proceed specifically for esx would be of great help. Please let me know as soon as possible, lagging on deliverables. Thanks for help!! Regards Rohit Singh

I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the
